What’s More Fun than Painting and Drinking?

Paint and Wine

Art can be serious business but, sometimes, people forget that creating art is supposed to be a joy, and not something necessarily relegated to professionals. Painting is a great creative outlet and stress reliever, especially when paired with a glass of fine wine.

Painting/wine tasting sessions have become popular in the past few years, and for good reason. They’re fun, social, and you don’t have to worry about any artistic expectations. Here are three of the best painting and drinking events in Rhode Island.

The Muse Paintbar is located on North Main Street in Providence, right next to the Mills Tavern. The Muse Paintbar is a regional chain with locations throughout New England, the Muse Paintbar is hosted by talented local artists. On Saturday, October the 4^th, you can paint Van Gogh’s well-loved Starry Night. Or, the next week, on Friday the 10^th, the painting will be Through the Haze, Muse’s most popular painting. And if you plan ahead, can also set up a private event for your friends. To sign up, or just to learn more, visit their website at http://musepaintbar.com/providence-ri/.

As opposed to the Muse Paintbar, which is in a set location, Drink and Dabble is a travelling event at several different locations throughout Rhode Island. On October the 8^th, for example, Drink and Dabble will be working on fall paintings at Chester’s Restaurant in Glocester. Or on the 14^th, check out Blossom in Bristol at Redlefen’s Rotisserie and Grill. Since its a mobile event, Drink and Dabble is even available for home events.

Finally, there’s Paint Drops, located on Mineral Spring in Pawtucket. Paint Drops is a relaxing, low pressure establishment and best of all, it’s BYOB. In addition to their usual nights, they also host family painting events some afternoons. Learn more about Paint Drops at www.paintdropsri.com.
